A person posses any talent makes him standout among the crowd. We all have certain talent in us but we unable to figure them out or delayed in identifying them. A person is good in writing, while another can be good in speaking, some may be good in drawing or may be some are good in cooking. Having the talent recognized at right time gives them unique status in society.
Our Sanskrit scholars have something to say:
गुणाः भूषयते रूपं शीलं भूषयते कुलम्|
प्रासादशिखरस्थोSपि काकः किं गरुडयते||
Gunaah bhooshayate roopam sheelam bhooshayate kulam.
Praaasada-shikharastopi kaakah kim garudaayate.
my own artwork
Gunaah = talent, virtues
Bhooshayate = decorate, beautify.
Roopam = appearance, figure.
Sheelam = character.
Kulam = family, clan.
Praasaad + shikharastho + api. Praasaad = a palace or a lofty building. Shikharstho = perched on the top.
Api = even.
Kaaakah = a crow.
Kim = can it ?
Garudaayate = match the majesty of an eagle.
The lines states "Talent beautifies the personality of a person, and his good character the status of his family. For instance,can an ordinary crow match the majesty and grandeur of a King eagle perched on the tower of a palace?"
Citing example of crow and eagle the scholars highlight how the talent in eagle makes them hold higher status. The main difference between a crow and an eagle is the big size of the eagle and its capacity to fly high. Simply occupying a high post one does not become great unless he possesses the requisite qualities.
